A 33-year-old resident of Krasnoyarsk turned to the police after fraudsters stole almost half a million rubles from her. This was reported in the press service of the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The woman was looking for a part-time job in the messenger and contacted a “marketplace manager” who offered easy money by liking and writing reviews to increase the rating of products.
According to the conditions, she had to transfer money to different accounts, and she was promised to return the amount for orders. The woman began transferring funds to cards, which, as it later turned out, had nothing to do with the marketplace or real orders.
